Re: Funky power dip



Check the wiring for loose, overheated connections. Also check all of 
the ground points for clean tight connections. Make sure nothing is 
melting in the fuse box too. It could be just the normal cycling of 
the fans. If you don't have a Fanzilla both of the fans will kick on 
at once and drag down the voltage for a second till the alternator can 
catch up. You might also notice somethinmg like this if you run the 
A/C, when it cycles not only does it force the cooling fans on it also 
puts a direct load on the motor which the idle system corrects. You 
will notice this more as the engine runs slower, less noticable when 
moving faster. The only cure is a good battery, good wiring and a 
Fanzilla.
